Hi Helen. I'm now following you after seeing your post at Madame Samm's. I found it interesting becasue I have just finished a trapunto butterfly in which I used exactly the same method. Please feel free to come to my blog and have a look. Looking forward to following your posts :)

The tutorial was great, I want to try it!

[LJ Meyers]

This is definitely a technique I want to try. Thanks, Helen.

[Mom C]

That is a great idea. I've used fabric paints and permanent markers to color fabric but your technique looks so much softer and usable. I didn't know about the stuff you used to make the colors permanent. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

[Kathy H]

Helen, I have been following your posts with the stitches and have been enjoying it a lot. I am trying to improve my stitching and your directions have been very helpful. Thanks for sharing them with us. I saw you over at Stash Manicure today and just love the pencil coloring. My friends and I were just discussing crayon coloring on stitching but this way looks even better. Can't wait to tell them about this.

[Summerfield Quilts]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I've never seen this before. I can't wait to try it.

[Carrie B]

[Anita - Vlijtige Handjes]

Thank you very much. I like the pattern and the way of working with the colors. I have to see if I can get the glue in the Netherlands for finishing.
Good luck with your fine designs.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I hadn't ever heard of coloring instead of applique. Sounds like something I need to put on my list to try when my life settles down.

Hello,
And thank you for the tutorial on Madam Sammi's blog...and all of the others I found while looking around your blog! So much knowledge shared!
Your post today was very timely for me. Yesterday I colored 4 blocks for a baby quilt I am giving as a gift. I was thinking I needed to find instructions to make sure I did it right before sewing them into the quilt...now I don't have to! Lovely job of explaining. The only thing I did different is how I stableize the fabric for drawing. I drew my own design on the dull side of freezer paper. Then I ironed it onto the back of my fabric and traced and colored it. The fabric doesn't move and I have a reusable pattern if I wish to keep it for another quilt.
I'm looking forward to looking around your blog more. I'm following so I don't loose you, lol.
Thanks again

[Barb]
